Tech Mahindra has come under scrutiny after an image labeled 'Footwear Free Zone' circulated online, suggesting religious bias at its Goregaon office in Mumbai. The company responded by denying the allegations, stating that an internal review found the claims to be 'inaccurate and unfounded.' Tech Mahindra reiterated its commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace where all individuals are treated with dignity, regardless of their religion. This incident follows heightened scrutiny of IT companies, particularly after allegations of sexual harassment and religious coercion at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) led to police investigations. TCS employees were asked to work from home amid the ongoing probe, which has involved multiple agencies due to concerns about extremist links. Additionally, Infosys faced allegations of workplace harassment at its Pune facility, prompting the company to reaffirm its zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and discrimination. Both companies are under pressure to ensure safe and respectful working environments.
